Nigerian Aviation Handling Company (Nahco aviance) has commenced full cargo operations at the Akanu Ibiam International Airport, Enugu.
Chinwe Chiji-Nnorom, chief financial officer of the company, who spoke for Norbert Bielderman, CEO, who is on vacation, said the opening of the two warehouses, one within the airport, and the other a few metres from the airport, would further enhance the development of the air cargo business in the South East, and the country as a whole.
Bielderman had only few weeks ago inspected the warehouses where he directed that it must start full operations before he embarked on his vacation.
He also used the visit to meet with the Customs hierarchy at the Enugu Area Command where the modalities for effective cargo operations were agreed upon.
But speaking in Lagos, Chiji-Nnorom said the opening of the Enugu warehouses was a major milestone for the company in its determination to ensure that the economy of Nigeria was further developed through the development of other airports in the country outside of Lagos Airport.
The same excellent services Nahco aviance is known for in Lagos would be available for all users of the company’s services at the Enugu Airport, she assured.
“Nahco aviance would not rest on its oars in its continued efforts at providing excellent services to its clients whether in Lagos, which is our West Africa hub, Port Harcourt, Abuja, Kano, Kaduna, Owerri or Enugu,” she said.
Nahco aviance is a Nigerian diversified enterprise with interests in aviation cargo, aircraft handling, passenger facilitation, crew transportation and aviation training. The company currently serves more than 35 airlines at seven airports across Nigeria, with plans to expand operations to other African countries. It handles about 70 percent of domestic and foreign airlines operating in Nigeria.
It was incorporated on December 6, 1979, as an aviation servicing company but started operations in April 1979, with the commissioning of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos.
